For many users this is likely to be the most valuable section of the book

Through the use of examples shows how to use freely available harmonic analysis software to analyze and
synthesize acoustic instruments, patches from other synths, and even reverse engineer sounds from previously
recorded songs and samples.

This isn't just looking at waveforms in a sound editor. This
is looking at and replicating individual harmonics. Synthesize specific instruments.

Want
to know what settings an artist used to produce that deep bass sound? No problem. The author has even used
this technique to synthesize his own voice! Harmonic analysis can produce results this specific even on analog synthesizers.

Reduces time and guess-work and produces MUCH better results than programming by ear alone

Section III: The original set of patches for ALL dual-oscillator synthesizers

Calibration section describing how to use
included audio samples to calibrate a synthesizer's components for higher accuracy

CD Contents

New to the 3d
edition! The SCB softsynth (Windows VSTi): Dual oscillator synthesizer with 12 dB and 24 dB filters, and stereo effects. Amplitude and filter
responses based on the averages of ten commercial synthesizers. Originally developed to produce the patches in the book.
(note: The patches in the book are intended for ALL dual-oscillator analog synths not just the SCB!)
